How should I proceed now? Is there hope?

Thanks, but what's the CB? Cad Bounder? Crash Barrier? Creative Bull sh***er? I could go on, but I can't see it. In a way, I'm glad to detach, it's saving my bacon, but I feel ashamed of myself for fading the love I felt for this person, I'm actually afraid that if he continues on the route he's chosen for long more, there'll be nothing left for him to come back to after a time.
I spent months feeling miserable as sin, waiting and hoping for a twitch or a tiny sign. For my own sanity, I've had to take a break from hoping and praying. I'm trying to live the present well. I hope I'm not commiting too great a sin in leaving him to his own devices and putiing him in a "box" on a back shelf.
